PATENT O rIoa;

IMPROVEMENT IN GAS-BURNERS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 171,831, dated January4, 1876; application filed November 16, 1874.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, OWEN .T. McGANN, of the city of Chicago, county ofCook and State of lllinois, have invented a new Portable Wator-BowlGas-Burner; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full andexact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanyingdrawings and to the letters of reference marked thereon.

Figure l is a side elevation of the gooseneck burner; Fig, 2, a plan ofthe flanged ring for holding the water-bowl, and Fig. 3 a perspectiveview of the device complete.

My, invention-has for its object to provide an improved mode ofattaching the ring'holder of a water-lens or reflector to its burner,which latter is also provided with a socket adapted to be detachablyapplied to the burner of an ordinary gas-bracket.

The ring for supporting the water bowl or lens has a horizontal lug orflange, A, which is provided with a screw-threaded hole, B, to adapt itto receive the corresponding threaded end of the socket D of thegoose-neck burner O. Said socket has a perforated rubber diaphragm,(like the socket of the flexible tube of an ordinary drop-light,) whichadapts it to tit gas-tight upon the burner of the bracket E. The socketis screwed into hole B till arrested by its shoulder a; hence thecircular lens-holder B and burner-tube O constitute, practically, onedevice, which may be readily attached to, or with equal facilitydetached from, the bracket-burner, while they may also be separated ordetached one from the other;
